Rating:  Summary: BEAU LOVES AND LOSES AGAIN! Review: I am beginning to think that Beau will never have a good love life, everybody he meets dies. With that in mind, this was a page turning gem. I finished it in one setting. J.A. Jance is an excellent author and has a wonderful way of combining description with suspense. Beau is one of my favorite characters and I love his outlook on life.In this novel, a scream from the beach disrupts Beau's quiet vacation solitude. A crazy psychopath bent on revenge stalks the Washington State Parole Board. Can Beau catch him in time? Read the book and find out.

Rating:  Summary: Very Good - 3.5 Stars Review: I enjoyed this book all the way through. The characters are great and the situations Beau puts himself into are quite entertaining. All the way up to the last 30 pages I was waffling between a four or five star rating. The ending just didn't work for me. I've never been a fan of the bad guy thinking he's got the upper hand spills his guts to the cop ending. That knocked me back to 3.5 stars. That said, Judith Jance really has something going on. It was fun riding along with the investigation, meeting the suspects, attending events uninvited to harass politicians. Something that I particularly enjoyed was that the list of suspects was assembled complete with negative perspective and suspicion and then as Beaumont moves through the list, the suspicion dissipates and we meet every day likeable people. Well done. There were some very funny and creatively developed scenes that went a long way toward establishing me as a fan of J. A. Jance. The word-picture memory trick was hilarious. And the Pasco police chief's office as well as the Mary Kay convention were stand out scenes.

Rating:  Summary: Nothing flashy or funny, but a solid who-dunn-it Review: In an era of wise cracking sluethes, J.P. Beaumont comes off a bit on the serious side. Of course, if I'd killed my spouse and then had my next lover die in a suspicious car accident, I might not have much of sense of humor either. In this, the second of the Beaumont series, we come to know much more about the personal side of Beau, his partner Peters and his lawyer, Ames. I suspect this book would be tough to enjoy without reading the opening book of the series - Until Proven Guilty - first. So much of this book involves recovery from the events of the first book. The mystery in this book is solid enough - a mix of electoral and parole board politics and money.
